00:00 Pray. Jesus Christ of Nazareth Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 6th March 2016 not worthy of Jesus, not worthy of Jesus. Brothers and sisters, today is Sunday and many, many Christians will be going to church, but they will not know. Many do not know this scripture.
00:20 I’m telling you, many do not know the scripture. That is why their lives also do not change from glory to glory. Glory to glory means our lives will be changing in line with what the commandments of Jesus Christ are.
00:35 If you love me, keep my commandments. Many times people begin to think that they love Jesus Christ, but they do not know that Jesus has actually written it down in the Bible as to how we should love Him. We should love Him.
00:51 He says, if you love me, you’ll be keeping My commandments. Meaning when you keep his commandments, only he, he considers us loving Him. When we don’t keep his commandments, he considers us not loving Him.
01:04 But this is misunderstood, ignored or do not know. And false teachers do not want to teach this because they want numbers. They want to just please everybody and say, dad, yes, they are teaching a different Jesus.
01:18 Now let’s see exactly what Jesus has said here on that issue. Matthew 10:38 and he who does not take his cross and follow me daily, he is not worthy of me. He is not worthy of me.
01:39 Jesus is saying, if anyone does not take his cross and follow me daily, he is not worthy of me. Earlier in Luke 9:23 he says, and he was saying to them all, if anyone wishes to follow me, he must deny himself. Pick up the cross daily.
02:00 Now what if this denier himself pick up the cross daily. Set aside selfish, self seeking interest. Selfish or self seeking interest.
02:09 Set aside self seeking interest, selfish interest. Self seeking is more broader definition than selfish. In any addition, others come first.
02:22 Others come first. And Jesus used to work very very hard. He didn’t care about his own health, his own needs, his own hunger.
02:30 He didn’t. He continued serving the people. Self seeking interest cannot be serving.
02:37 God cannot be serving. Christ must take up the cross daily, daily. So every time we have something, our heart says this and that.
02:46 We have to check, examine ourselves to see. Is this thing that the heart is telling us, is it self seeking, selfish? If it’s self seeking and selfish, you command it to shut up in Jesus Christ name. Stand down heart.
02:58 You stand down in the name of Jesus Christ. You will not follow this line of thinking and be renewed in the mind in the spirit of your mind. Jesus says so we command our hearts, our minds to renew, to know Just Jesus said self seeking selfish interest will not mean we are not following Jesus.
03:17 We are not conforming to his example and willingness to endure. You know, take up the gross daily names, willingness to endure whatever may come. Because knowing fully well that for a child of God, whatever comes, Father God, Jesus Christ has allowed it to come.
03:34 And it is for our good, for our good. Because all things will work for the good of those who love God and are the called according to his will. So whenever whatever comes, we give thanks.
03:47 We give thanks and we tell our heart and mind, this is for my good, this is for my good. Jesus Christ will make it work for my good. So I will endure.
03:57 I’ll go through, I will not react. I will not go against people. I will just bless them.
04:02 Those who persecute us, we bless them. I will love them. When you begin to command your heart and mind to do this and let it go, let it go.
04:09 First of all, one thing is certain. Your health will improve, your health will improve. You’ll have peace in your heart.
04:16 Otherwise you’ll end up chasing this, doing this. Let’s stop them. Let us go against them.
04:21 You do all that, that means you are declaring to the world and to Satan that I don’t trust Jesus Christ to settle this for me. Now, when Jesus then do nothing, do nothing, is it? No. Then the Holy Spirit will tell you to do what will make you move to do the right thing.
04:38 Bless them. And then supposing they’re persecuting in your work, you bless them. And then you wait, you endure.
04:45 And then you’ll see something, you’ll be justified. You will be justified because something along the line will happen. And if nothing is happening and you felt in your spirit that you look for another job, you look for another job because it may be Jesus.
05:01 It is the way that Jesus moves us by default. He doesn’t want you to be in the job, so he begins to move you with some difficulties there. But first you must endure.
05:10 First you must examine and say, did I cause it? Did I cause it? If I cause it, then I must ask for forgiveness from the employer, even and ask forgiveness from Jesus Christ and repent and then do the right thing. Now supposing, then you check and check and you know this is just persecution. Now persecution will come because the ruler of the world is Satan.
05:31 The ruler of the world is Satan. Even the employer or the immediate superior may not know why they don’t like you. But suddenly they may not like you.
05:39 Why the spirit in them which is not of Christ will not like the Spirit in you, which is the Holy Spirit. So where suddenly people are acting against you, you better understand that it may simply be a battle in the spirit. It’s a spiritual battle between two forces.
05:58 The Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit. Actually is no battle. He can fix them once and for all because he is God and the evil spirits.
06:06 But the evil spirits try to provoke you because they can’t fight against the Holy Spirit. So they provoke you into tempting you to react and act like them. Act like people of darkness.
06:18 So that’s why the provocation coming provoke you to act like them. So when they begin to provoke you to act like them and you fall into the trap without calling blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, casting out in the name of Jesus, not understanding how the spirit world works, then of course you’re being trapped. They trapped you and you end up doing what the world will do.
06:39 That means you didn’t pick up your cross, you didn’t deny yourself and you didn’t keep the commandments of Christ. So now if genuinely you want to keep the commandment of Christ and this happens, you will of course repent and say sorry Jesus, Sorry Jesus. And the Holy Spirit knows.
06:54 Jesus Christ knows. Satan also knows you want to follow. And Jesus Christ covers you with his blood and guides you again.
07:01 He creates circumstances. Now if you don’t care, you just want to do. I fed up with these people.
07:08 I will take action then. You are not a child of God. Because one, you cannot have the power of Christ.
07:14 Even power of Christ won’t work for you if you go and do your own thing, your own way. We have conformed to my example in living. Jesus says like yesterday.
07:25 Believe me. Jesus says believe me when I say believe me. I’m not believing me.
07:30 Christy loots. Jesus says believe me. Deny yourself.
07:34 Believe me and believe my Father also. Believe me. Believe my Father.
07:38 Believe me now. Believe me that what if you do not pick up the cross, you are not worthy of me. Believe me and deny yourself.
07:50 When Jesus said, he said believe me. So whenever I say something like that, if the Spirit, Holy Spirit has union me to speak like that, you might understand not believing me. Chris El I am a man.
08:02 Don’t bother believing me. Believing the scriptures. Scriptures.
08:06 Believe me and deny yourself. Do not believe false teachings. Do not believe false teachers.
08:13 This is a command, you know. He says if you do not pick up your cross, you are not worthy of me. You are not worthy of me.
08:19 What is picking up the cross, Conforming to his example in living and need be suffering. Or perhaps Dying because of faith in Jesus Christ. Whatever happens, we do not react with control.
08:32 Self control. Jesus has given us self control through the Holy Spirit. But you must exercise self control by the blood of Jesus, by the name of Jesus.
08:43 Now that’s why yesterday when I was talking about cigarettes and this and that, people don’t want to exercise self control when you have been guided, when you know, when these kind of things happen, do not buy cigarettes. But if you buy cigarettes and keep it in your car or somewhere, you think you can overcome sacred addiction. No way.
09:00 No way. Actually Being foolish, you are actually blaspheming the name of Jesus Christ. You do not buy, you do not keep.
09:09 And when the addiction comes, you shake and shake and shake. Yes, but you don’t have it nearby. The addiction will go by.
09:16 The withdrawal symptoms will go off. But if you have it nearby, you will not have self control. You will pick up the cigarette and smoke.
09:24 And the devil knows this. Now he’s going to fix you. Because the devil is just waiting for you to do something that Jesus Christ told you not to do.
09:34 By using his blood, by using his name. Now many churches do not know. Many people do not know.
09:39 You can use his name, Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. You can command your body to be still, be still and not crave for these things.
09:49 That’s why when Jesus Christ told the sea to be calm, the stormy sea, the surface became like glass. When Jesus Christ was going into Jerusalem and a lot of people were following him and making a lot of noise and the soldiers told him, tell your people to be quiet. He replied.
10:06 Jesus Christ replied and said, if I tell them to be quiet, even the stones will rise up and call my name. Even the stones will rise up and call my name. Why? Every molecule of sand was created by Jesus Christ.
10:20 And they know who are the dodos who do not realize it’s we human beings. Believe me means believe him. Believe him that you are not worthy if you do not pick up your cross.
10:32 And if you are not worthy, do you really think you can get the support? All the power can flow to you. Now he has done it on the cross. All has been settled.
10:42 It is finished, he said. And he gave up his ghost. He gave up his life.
10:45 He gave up the spirit. It is finished. Every time you do something doesn’t mean he’s going to get up and now do something for you.
10:52 No, it is all done. The whole benefits are sitting in the spiritual plane. The spiritual world is sitting down there for us to receive it, receive his power.
11:02 We must apply his name, we must apply the blood. And then for us to get the thing going in the righteous way, we must pick up the cross and deny ourselves and self control. Now if you do not have self control, then you go and get self control.
11:19 How? Look at the there’s a fruit of the Spirit. There’s a segment called Fruit of the Spirit. Go and search it in the graceoflife.com the fruit of spirit.
11:27 You put the fruit of the Spirit in the power of Christ daily page. There’s a page in graceoflife.com and you put that one, the key in the search, it will come out. And you listen to that again and again.
11:39 You see that how you will get the self control from the fruit of the spirit. You have to take up the cross. If you deny yourself, pick up the cross, you don’t do.
11:50 You’re not worthy of him. You’re not worthy of me. Believe me.
11:54 He says deny yourself and pick up the cross. Otherwise you’re not worthy of me. Now brothers and sisters, this is fantastic.
12:02 This is actually very important. Although it looks like, you know, oh, very tough. No, no, it’s not.
12:07 Take my yoke and learn of me. Take my yoke and learn of me. Burden is light.
12:13 Yoke is easy. Burden is light. Because why he gives you name and power, his name.
12:19 But you must apply his name. You say I’m a Christian and you want to apply, then you are a false Christian. You do not call on his name and you do not call on the blood of Jesus Christ.
12:30 And then such things are coming to obey and pick up your cross. Deny yourself and pick up the cross. Then you’re not a Christian.
12:37 Why you’re not worthy of him and you’re not disciples. This looks like opposite to the whole world’s teaching, really. But this is what is written down.
12:47 And you know false teachers. Now to make it feel good for your flesh, they will take this scripture and that scripture and twist it and turn it and use Hebrew translation which nobody else can check, right? And they’ll take one obscure Hebrew translation or Greek translation. They won’t tell you the other translation.
13:05 They take a fix it force a meaning to let you know. No, he doesn’t mind. He is not meaning this.
13:13 He is meaning something else. Hey, you read for yourself, brother. You read for yourself, sister, and see what it means.
13:20 Don’t try to allow these people to tell you something is false teaching. And then finally, who pays the price? We pay the price. If I do not go and search the scriptures myself and do not See what he says.
13:32 Go and look at amplified. Go and look at your Bible. Go and look at any bible and see what he says.
13:37 And then you don’t want to follow that. You try to follow some false teacher who telling you this way and that way and every which way. And cover the importance of the statement.
13:46 He who does not take up his cross and follow me daily is not worthy of me. In Matthew 10:38 then. Then what? Then tomorrow when our body dies and we facing him or he decides to tell.
14:01 I don’t know. You get away from me. You workers are evil.
14:03 Then what are you going to do? You think the false teacher is going to be there to support you? You think the false teacher is going to the one who’s going to take you to heaven? You think the false teacher is going to settle you when you don’t listen to this? Deny. Didn’t deny yourself. You bought iPhone5, iPhone6, iPhone25, no money.
14:19 Also buy run up the credit card like crazy. Because no self control. Continue denying not denying yourself.
14:26 Continue smoking, continue buying the cigarette, continue buying the booze, the liquor, what keeping there. And then suddenly you say I cannot control, I cannot control. You are not even doing the first step of control.
14:37 First call for control is what? That’s why when a drug addict goes into a rehab, what they do do they have drugs around. They’ll put him in a room and lock up and even change sometimes. Why? He may hurt himself and then he’ll be vomiting and screaming and all that.
14:53 The withdrawal has to take place. And I know I’m speaking to one particular person today because I counseled him and he’s still buying this thing and keeping it there. And then he says he wants to follow Jesus Christ.
15:05 It’s a joke. Why? The devil knows you are doing this and he will harm you. He’s already harmed us so much.
15:14 Do you want to not be harmed again and again? Brother, sister, I’m telling you, self control, self interest must not help. Self seeking must not help. How? Blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, you’ll overcome.
15:28 Do not. First step in overcoming addiction is do not buy. Do not go near people who are doing it.
15:34 Do I have to stop seeing my friends? Why not? They were not drunkard. I was a drunkard. I was a drunkard.
15:41 So I told them what I follow Jesus from today. So I’m. And they were also giving me business.
15:46 You know these people, their close friends and giving business. They got other company giving business. And I tell them when I come to the office, I only go in the afternoon and all that.
15:54 And then after I leave before 5, 4 something. Why in the evenings when we go to the pub to relax or whatever, I end up drunkard. So when I follow Jesus Christ, I don’t want to get.
16:04 And they are not drunkards, you know, they were well controlled people. They were not demonized like me. But I was demonized.
16:13 So first step is I will not go meet even business meeting. I won’t go to the pubs, no. Until some years later when Jesus told me to go and minister to one person.
16:23 And they said I only see them in the pub in that particular pu. The person said I went and saw him and then told all about Jesus. And later on he accepted Jesus Christ.
16:33 Brothers and sisters, I had to deny myself pick up the cross. I had to stop buying. I had to in fact throw away all the liquor.
16:41 In fact, the other servants will come here. They want to pour away expensive bottled wine and whiskey and they pour away why they do not want this anymore. In the name of Jesus Christ, deny your son, pick up the cross or not.
16:53 You are not worthy of Jesus Christ. Jesus is saying, brothers and sisters, this is the truth. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 5 March 2016 A Saturday. FALSE teachings and deny yourself false teachings and deny yourself. Brothers and sisters, today being a Saturday tomorrow.
00:15 Today even a large number of people may be going to church tomorrow. Most Christians will be going to church service Sunday. But at the same time, we must understand this.
00:25 God is wanting us to check whether we are in false teachings or we are not. We are actually following Christ or we are not. Why is Jesus Christ the Spirit of God is telling us this.
00:37 Why? Because we are supposed to work out each one of us supposed to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. What is the workout? Whatever the Spirit of God tells us, we have to do. That is the proof.
00:51 Whatever Jesus commands us, we have to do. If you love me, keep my commandments. Jesus says so.
00:57 The proof of our love, the proof that we have actually been born again in the Spirit is we are doing things that are pleasing Christ. We are doing things that are keeping commandments of Christ, walking in his commandments. If you are not doing that, there is no evidence that you are actually born again.
01:15 Now what is the working of salvation? Yes, salvation is by grace. But he died on the cross. He suffered.
01:22 He gave us blood. But now we must use the blood and the name of Jesus, Jesus Christ to make sure we don’t do wrong things. To make sure we don’t do wrong things, we must make sure that we meditate on the words of Christ and the word of God.
01:35 And when you keep on meditating on the word of God and it will change us, the word of God will change us. The Holy Spirit will tell us when we’re going towards wrong. He says, no, you pledge a stress in your spirit and you stop by the power of Jesus Christ by saying blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, or in the name of Jesus Christ, you command that the evil spirit of anger or lust or whatever is coming to get out in the name of Jesus Christ and not to return.
02:01 In the name of Jesus Christ, you command your heart and mind to obey the word of God in the name of Jesus Christ. You command your heart and mind to crave for Jesus Christ and to love him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. There are so many things you do.
02:14 This has all been taught again and again. But here in Matthew 16:6, 11:12, I’m going to read 16:6 verse, Jesus said to them, watch out and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, Pharisees and Sadducees, first of all, who are the Pharisees? The Pharisees are people who are highly trained in law, the Jewish law, trained in law. And they stick to the law very legalistically they stick.
02:46 They actually burden people by interpreting the law any which way they want. Because they are educated class and in the law. And the people are not educated in the law.
02:55 So they begin to control them using the laws of God for their own purpose. They begin to control, they begin to burden people using the laws that they have studied. The Sadducees, on the other hand, are a priestly class.
03:10 They are the ones who take care of the temple and all that. And so they will put. They.
03:15 The Pharisees seduces, always disagree. They’re almost like enemies because they disagree. They on opposite poles they got different doctrines.
03:23 The Sadducees on the other hand, they are priestly cross and they focus on the temple. The temple, the temple. That’s why one scripture Jesus said that you tell them to swear by the gold in the temple.
03:39 What nonsense is that? But that is how when our heart catches on to something, because our hearts are wicked, we can turn it into. It may start with the right thing. That’s how the devil works.
03:50 He brings us into some right thing first and then turns into a wrong thing. So the Sadduce is the temple became the object. It’s not the souls of people.
03:59 The temple becomes the focal point. That’s why Jesus allows the temple to be destroyed. Allow the temple to be destroyed because the temple became the object.
04:10 So now brothers and sisters, in Matthew 16:11, 12 how is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about bread? When he said here in six watch out and be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees? And said, you see, the disciples started thinking, did we not bring enough bread? Is it talking about bread and all that? So Jesus, knowing that in the Spirit told in leaven, how is it that you disciples failed to understand that I was not talking to you about bread, but beware of the leaven of the pharisees and sadducees. 12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to be beware of the leaven of bread, but of the false teaching of the Pharisees and seduces now did not tell them about the leaven of the bread? Leaven is like an yeast, you know, whereby you know, to rise up the bread, the dough, you have to put the yeast and let it stand for a while before you bake it. When it rises, then Only you can bake it many times, the cake.
05:15 You do that sometimes they use baking soda nowadays. Now, what is Jesus saying? Because leaven, when you put a little leaven, little yeast into a dough, and you mix it and leave it there, step by step, the leaven will go and rise up the whole bread. First of all, this is not.
05:35 I’m just thinking, yeah, they puff up like the bread puffs up because of the leaven. So people puff up with pride. Also, leaven of Pharisees fall asleep.
05:46 The thing will begin to move and infiltrate every part of the dough very quickly. Infiltrate every part of the door. Therefore, he says, watch out.
05:55 The false teaching of the Pharisees, because it will infiltrate. It will enter and move to every part of your being. Every part of your being.
06:05 For instance, the Pharisees will have a whole lot of traditions. They change from the law. They tell this way, that way nobody can say anything.
06:11 Because they are the educated class of the Jew laws, the religious laws. And so they enter like this. And then people out brought into captivity.
06:20 Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. The seducer, on the other hand, they make people come to the temple and do all kinds of things, traditions and religious activities and all that.
06:35 But the souls of the men cannot change. Because that’s why he says, people worship me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. People worship me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
06:47 So the Sadducees, on the other hand, lock people up into tradition that they created, focusing on the temple, activities in the temple, so that they rule the place. They are the verses. So they control the people like that.
07:02 The Pharisees, on the other hand, they used to law and interpret this way, that way. And make traditions of the Pharisees and control the people. The people will becoming more and more burdened, more and more burdened.
07:15 That’s why he said, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. And some of this the Pharisees will not believe that Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. And he empowered his disciples.
07:26 Remember, there were 500 disciples. And he sent them two by two into the villages. And they went and cast out evil spirits.
07:35 They went and healed the sick. When they came back, they were jumping with joy and saying, even the demons are trembling. Demons fear us and this and that.
07:43 And Jesus said, do not be joyful over what you have done, casting out demons and demons and trembling, but be joyful that your name is written in the book in heaven. Book of life in heaven. Be joyful of that is it.
07:59 But soon after, I mean in the same event, Jesus start talking about unless you drink my blood and eat my flesh, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven immediately. A lot of them, most of them were offended and they said, how can he? They started, I think like, you know, what is this man trying to make us a cannibal or what? How to eat his flesh and drink his blood. But remember, they know he gave them power.
08:26 They went and cast out all the evil spirit. They were healing the sick and yet they have this thing that they know something. If you know anything, if you think you know something, you do not know anything yet as you ought to know.
08:38 I keep telling you, I use that to safeguard myself. If I think I know something, I do not know anything as I ought to know. That’s the word of God.
08:42 If I think I’m something, when I’m nothing, I deceive myself. I use these two things regularly to keep my heart and my mind in check. I have to keep these two in check because they are actually soon they will take me over.
09:01 And that’s what happened to me. I went so far away from God, I was using folder words from God and all kinds of things. And so I don’t want to get back.
09:10 I know only Jesus is the way, the truth and life. I want to be the truth and I want him to come and take me home. And while here, when he gives me work, I want to do it.
09:19 I ask the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, I ask you, Holy Spirit, to make me do everything that Jesus wants me to do on earth. Amen. So that is how we live now.
09:33 So remember this, that fellows will put a little little by tradition that’s happening nowadays. It’s happened all the while. Churches, religious activities, religions, any religion, whether it is Catholic religion, Protestant religion, this way, evangelical or whatever, these things will creep in because Satan will send false teachings inside there.
09:57 So they then lock you up with traditions and things. They’ll tell you to do things which will not going to gain you salvation, but only make you burdened with doing a lot of activities which is not getting your heart and mind changed. So therefore get to Jesus.
10:13 So any tradition and all that that you know of tradition of man is not fruitful for you. In accordance with the word of God, you shouldn’t do. You should do what Jesus Christ tells you to do.
10:26 And he’s written down exactly what you want to do. You just for instance, we are dealing with the 50 commands of Jesus Christ. These are commands.
10:34 These are one of the commands. We are halfway through. We are dealing with this now.
10:40 I do not know how long the Lord God will let me deal with this. He may want to change it up to him. So, oh, I started the 50 commands of Jesus Christ.
10:49 I must stick on and do all. No. I used to say when I first came to the Lord, I’m footloose and fancy free.
10:55 Why footloose? Because there was a movie sometime earlier, before I came to the Lord. There’s a movie called Footloose. You know, footloose means you don’t control your own feet.
11:06 Your feet must be controlled by Jesus Christ. Where to go, what to do, where you’re moving. I want Jesus Christ, the spirit of God to control my feet.
11:14 So I am footloose. Fancy free means I am not having any fancy in my heart. I am not desiring anything in my heart.
11:21 I want him to put his desire. So I am footloose and fancy free. I am footloose and fancy free.
11:29 My foot, my feet must be determined by Jesus Christ, where it goes. My heart must be determined by Jesus Christ, what it needs, what you want, not my heart determine itself and my feet determine themselves. Where you want to go, brothers and sisters? Take the stand.
11:44 Wherever, Lord, whatever you may do. I have not my will anymore. It’s your will, Lord.
11:49 Let your will be done. Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask you to make me do Jesus will all the time and he’ll begin to. He’ll convict you.
11:59 Now when he convicts you, you don’t want to do then for the problem because you pray like this. And then when the conviction comes in your heart, don’t do this. Suppose you are smoking cigarettes and then you’re struggling with it.
12:11 And then the conviction comes. Hey, this cigarette is wrong. It’s killing me.
12:14 And also Jesus suffered on the cross. If you take a moment looking at the cross, his beard all torn, he’s suffering. And they whacked him earlier the whole night long.
12:26 And all the skin are in ribbons, you know, torn like ribbons. Because they used the whip and the gas, the skin, all that is now hanging on the cross for you. If you take a moment when a temptation comes, if you take a moment and think of that, oh, my Jesus, you suffered like that for me.
12:43 Then you still want to smoke. Then something is wrong. Because you are then not wanting to control your heart and mind.
12:50 And you can control your heart and mind before, cannot now. By the blood of Jesus Christ, by the name of Jesus Christ, you can control it. You have been taught this, so please do that.
13:00 If you don’t do that means you are going against Christ and your life only mess up. Why nobody on earth can stop you. Because it is yield your choice.
13:09 But the devil who came to steal, kill and destroy will not leave you in peace. Will not leave you in peace. He will keep on attacking you.
13:16 That is why, brothers, how do we recognize? The main recognition to false teaching and real teaching is this. This is in also Matthew, Luke 9, 23. He was saying to them all, Jesus, if anyone wishes to follow me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily.
13:41 And if need be suffering. You must deny yourself and pick up the cross. Deny the cigarette, deny the you know heart.
13:48 You will not get a cigarette, no mind. You will not get a cigarette, no body will not get a cigarette in Jesus Christ’s name. And you begin to drink a lot of water or something and run away.
13:57 The people who are smoking and the thoughts will come, the feeling will come, the taste even will come to your mouth. This is all I know, brothers and sisters. You think I was not suffering.
14:04 I was not a real smoker, but I was a real drunken. I know the taste will come when you sit there. As temptation comes, you can feel it in your throat.
14:12 It tastes exactly like my whiskey or the brandy. Now you see expensive ones, money all lost there. So I know the taste when the attack comes.
14:18 So I know this. So you better understand. Look at the cross.
14:23 Look at the cross. He’s suffering on the cross. He is now.
14:27 Then you say I deny myself in the name of Jesus Christ. If you do not want to do this, then you are not wanting to follow Jesus. And then the devil will destroy your body, destroy your mind, destroy everything.
14:39 He did. Only Jesus saved me. He did to me, brothers and sisters.
14:44 So now if anyone wishes to follow me, he must deny himself and pick up the cross daily. Daily. Daily.
14:50 Daily. Not today. Stop smoking.
14:52 Tomorrow you start smoking. No, daily. Now remember this, this thing.
14:56 This is one major way to see whether people teaching you the right thing or not. Are they teaching you to deny yourself and pick up the cross and follow Jesus daily? Deny yourself. You know, many false Christianity has taken place.
15:10 Teachers will not tell you to deny yourself. They say no, no. Jesus will see you through.
15:15 Jesus what? You have to make a decision. And now you tell me I was such a drunkard, I was violent, I was gone, I was adulterer, sexually immoral, all kind of sins there. And now I come to Christ 20 years ago and I have to Deny myself.
15:36 So these people are teaching you nothing or denying yourself and obeying Jesus command? They are false. Teach. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.
15:44 Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees. They’re going to destroy your life if you follow these people. Run away now.
15:53 When they deny you, then some will teach you deny yourself. They tell you that, but they don’t give you the power. They don’t give you the.
16:00 In the name of Jesus Christ. You can deny yourself in the name of Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus.
16:06 They will tell you, you must come to the church to get the blood of Jesus. They’ll tell you, come to the church to get the blood of Jesus and body of Jesus. No, it is with you.
16:15 Jesus Christ is in you. When Jesus Christ is in you and the Bible says he is already in you, he doesn’t come down in some kind of a ceremony and enter some bread or something. And then that is inside you.
16:30 The Bible is very clear. Jesus Christ is inside you. You are in Jesus Christ.
16:35 So you now daily pick up the cross. Deny yourself. Pick up the cross and follow him.
16:40 And the blood is inside you also. The spirit of God is inside you. The name of Jesus Christ inside you.
16:46 The body of Jesus Christ all inside you. So you use the blood of Jesus Christ. Blood of Jesus Christ, Blood of Jesus Christ, blood of Jesus.
16:54 Believe me, do not follow the leaven of the Pharisees. Do not follow false teachings. Brothers and sisters, in Jesus name I pray.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily. 4 March 2016, titled Fear of Men and Take My Yoke. Brothers and sisters, before we start today, let me just say that there’s one Brother Tony, he’s from Cambodia, he started translating the Power of Christ daily and he came for a visit to visit the Power of Christ congregation here in Kuala Lumpur.
00:31 And he spent a few days here and he was thank Jesus, he was blessed and we were blessed to have him here. And he was taught so many from so many other pastors and all were teaching him on how to do the healing and the deliverance and all that and casting out and all this in Jesus name. And he has returned yesterday safely to Cambodia and we pray he’ll continue.
00:56 He will continue to do the good work that God had given him to do in Cambodia. And he is a youth leader and he will begin to teach others, empowering them. Teach others means empowering others, giving power to others, the power of Christ, talking to people about the power of Christ.
01:15 But Jesus Christ wants power for each one to be set free. So in this way each soul will be set free. We are not trying to gather everybody in one place because it is impossible.
01:27 People are all over the world. Jesus wants each one to be set free and to exercise the power. And that’s why even the disciples, when the apostles, when Jesus left Jesus allowed chaos in Jerusalem, persecution.
01:45 And so the disciples had to move and go and begin to minister elsewhere. They went to other towns, other cities, other countries because and went around empowering people and turning them to Christ, turning them to Christ. And those who wanted to be disciples, then they sat there and started teaching them and they formed a congregation there.
02:05 It is not the building and everything else. So this is well, Brother Tony, I know by God’s mercy, if he continues like this, he’ll be blessed. He’s already blessed.
02:15 We are blessed to have him and he’s blessed and he will do the Cambodian work. Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Likewise, I know so many here in the Power of Christ, whether in India, because we have so Tamil translation, whether in India and we have some Chinese translation which is not enough, but some work is being done there.
02:36 And likewise those who are sending to others, others to give them the power of Christ to cast out diversity to the breath of God. You know so many things there people can then stand and know the truth. The truth is not just following a tradition or religion.
02:54 Jesus Christ is the husband of our souls. He wants us to present our soul as chaste. Virgin to Christ.
03:03 This is it. This is it. Each soul, when we tell them this and those who want it, they will begin to pray and talk to Jesus Christ and begin to exercise the power given by Jesus Christ.
03:16 And the daily reminder from the power of Christ coming, they will be able to move closer and closer to Christ and begin to be the salt and light and fulfill the destiny that Jesus Christ put each one of us here. For because we are a pilgrim here, there’s nothing here on earth for us. It will be all.
03:36 Naked we came, and naked we shall return. From dust we came, with dust we shall return. That’s a body part.
03:42 But our spirit man will go, go back to Christ. Brothers and sisters. Important.
03:49 Each one of us to turn to Christ. Not turn to me. Not to turn.
03:53 Yes, we share each other the knowledge of Christ. We remind ourselves the knowledge of Christ. And we remind ourselves knowing Christ, not just knowing of him.
04:04 And then we begin to move and we begin to share this with others. And those who want will do. We are nothing.
04:13 We deceive ourselves. We think we are something. We are nothing without Christ.
04:18 And we help others, help care for others, love others, love even our enemies. To be sons of the Most High God, we have to love even the enemies. And then we are blessed.
04:31 He said, pray for them who persecute you. Bless them who persecute you, because then it will be sons of the Most High God. So therefore, brothers and sisters, this is a great thing.
04:42 So we have the power to do this. We have the power to love our enemies. Now, today, fear of men.
04:48 Fear of man takes many forms. Fear of man takes. Man not just sheds.
04:48 Fear of man takes very subtle forms. Now let’s see what Jesus Christ is saying in Matthew 10:28. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul, but rather be afraid of him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
05:10 In Luke 12, 4, 5. I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body. After that, I have nothing more that they can do.
05:19 But I will point out to you whom you should fear. Fear the one who after he has killed, has authority and power to hurl you into hell. Yes, I say to you, stand in great awe of God and fear him.
05:32 Now, this fear. Remember this. When we become children of God, we love God.
05:38 We love God. You know, we fear this fear is awe and reverence. Awe and reverence.
05:47 This fear is actually because, you see, I told you, all the English language is limited because the Asian language, Hebrew, Greek, Chinese, Tamil, all Are Asian languages. They have many shades of meanings of one word. The English word doesn’t have such extent.
06:02 So what they do, they finally find one word that is nearest and put there this fear. Of course, if we do wrong, we better fear. If we are doing wrong, we don’t care what God says and we are doing wrong, we better fear what God will do.
06:19 People say, don’t fear God. Don’t fear God. No, no.
06:21 If you are doing wrong, you better fear God. If you are doing wrong, you have to fear God because he can send you to hell. Better understand this.
06:30 But when we are children of God, we don’t want to do wrong. Our intention is to love God and serve him and love Jesus Christ. That time that fear becomes awe and oh my God is great reverence.
06:43 My God, I will kneel down and worship you. Jesus, my friend, Business and all that is error. Because he only called disciples after three and a half years, he called them.
06:54 From today I call you friends. I do not call you servants anymore. That is, the disciples served with him for three and a half years.
07:03 People are telling people you are friend of Jesus. You are a friend of Jesus. Yes, Jesus calls you a friend.
07:10 Accept it. Humble yourself, but humble yourself to know you are a servant. You are a servant.
07:17 Our heart and mind is very wicked. Easily you will take control. You know, a friend of Jesus.
07:22 A friend of Jesus. You think you’re something. Unless Jesus told you he’s your friend.
07:27 You better understand you’re a servant. That’s all. Humble ourselves.
07:31 That’s why Jesus says what? When you go to a function, don’t take the front seat, take the back seat. And when people bring you to the front seat, you are blessed. But if you go to the front seat and somebody tells you, go back to the back seat or go away because somebody else will come and sit front seat.
07:47 How? That’s why always humble ourselves. Humble ourselves. We are nothing.
07:51 And if we think we know something, he says, you do not know anything yet as you ought to know. And you think you are something when you are nothing. We deceive ourselves.
08:02 These are important scriptures for controlling our own heart. Because our hearts are like this. Our minds are oh terrible worldly every day bombarded.
08:11 Now here the fear of man is one thing to remember, not just hear men. There are many times here men and you do not know. For instance, somebody comes and tells you something and then you dare not they are wrong.
08:24 When they are wrong and you dare not tell them and you agree. When you agree, you agree and keep quiet. Or do that is fear of men.
08:33 Fear of men. For instance, you want to please them. You do not want to.
08:38 You don’t want to say what is right and wrong. But people tell you do something wrong and then you begin to do because you fear men and then because you don’t offend them. Sometimes, you know, people say, I didn’t want to offend them.
08:50 No, that’s why I did it. Hey, you offend God, brother. Understand, sister? Understand? You offend God.
08:58 When people tell you to do something, you don’t go and do until it is right in Jesus Christ. But if you do it, you actually having a fear of man. You can cast it out.
09:09 That’s the solution. Cast it out in the name of Jesus Christ. I will not fear man, but I will be humble.
09:15 I command my heart and mind not to fear man, but to fear God and also reverence, to love Jesus Christ. Do not want to offend him in any way. I want to please Jesus Christ all the time.
09:28 So I want to do exactly what his word says. So even when men tell me to do something and it’s not against Christ, he, and it’s against the Spirit telling me is wrong, I will humbly tell them, I can’t do this. I can’t do this.
09:43 Why? Because I’ve taken a covenant. I’ve taken an oath with Jesus that I’ll only do what Jesus says. And if I break this covenant, if I break this oath, I will suffer.
09:55 A curse will come upon me for breaking covenants. Now when you begin, and then the other thing again, the curse will come upon others who are making me break covenants. So I don’t want anybody to be affected.
10:05 Let it be affected by myself. I cannot do. I’m sorry this can happen now because, you see, you might understand when people ask you to do something which is not correct in Christ, you cannot.
10:19 You do it because you want to please. There’s somebody who cares for you, cares for you all your life. You want to please them, but you please God first.
10:27 You please Jesus Christ first and then you ask. This is for mercy for them because they cannot see. They may still be angry with you, but you ask Jesus for mercy for them and you forgive them.
10:37 And you love them. You love everyone, including your enemies. You love and you can command your heart and mind to love.
10:43 Brothers and sisters, today this fear of man is actually very subtle. Man pleasing, not God pleasing. Are you man pleasing and not God pleasing? But when you cannot do, you must humble yourself to explain to them.
10:58 If they don’t understand you Ask protection from Jesus Christ and you stand and accept what comes. Why? That is the persecution we’re supposed to take when standing for righteousness. Standing for righteousness? Whose righteousness? Righteousness in Christ.
11:15 What it tells you to do, brothers and sisters. It’s hard sometimes, but that is why we deny ourselves and pick up the cross. Deny ourselves and pick up the cross.
11:25 Brothers and sisters, the next issue is this. So when you want to tell people that you cannot do, you find a way. You pray.
11:32 You pray in tongues even, and ask Jesus for guidance. Take counsel. Take counsel among godly people.
11:40 Who give you godly counsel? Not self seeking counsel. Some people give godly counsel. You can even Write to the placeoflife.com and ask the servants there.
11:50 Somebody will help you with some counsel. Counsel without their own agendas. Godly, sincere counsel will be given and then you use it.
11:59 But when you approach these people, go with attitude of humility. Humbleness. No.
12:06 I serve Jesus Christ, so I cannot do this. I serve Jesus Christ, so I cannot do it. I say, I praise the Lord.
12:07 I cannot do this. I serve Jesus Christ. I follow Jesus Christ.
12:07 I cannot do all this. I cannot do all this. There is pride.
12:18 Humble yourself. Sorry, I can’t do this. Because I have taken an oath.
12:23 I’ve taken a covenant. I’ll be cursed. And a curse will come if I break this covenant.
12:28 Brothers and sisters, humbleness is the greatest thing we must do. Humble ourselves. Humble ourselves.
12:34 Now, brothers and sisters, the other thing is take my yoke upon you and learn from me. This is in Matthew 11:29. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.
12:45 Following me as my disciple, For I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest, renewal, blessed quiet for your souls. Rest.
12:56 Rest means renewed. Blessed quiet for your soul. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.
13:02 For I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest for your souls, brothers and sisters. This one.
13:08 Let’s look at it. Be gentle. Business again.
13:11 Same English mistranslation. If Jesus gentiles, then why did Jesus go and tell the Pharisees, you brood of wifers, you brood of snakes, you’re from your father, the devil. He was telling all this.
13:25 And then he even made a rope and whipped everybody, chased everybody out of the temple, broke every table there, because all the fellows had done wrong things. You have made my father’s house a den of things. My father’s house a house of prayer.
13:37 You met my father’s house a den of things. Thieves. And he started walking, turning, table breaking big Chaos.
13:44 Hundreds of people were running all over the place. How does this relate with the word gentle? Now this Gentile is compassion for people. People who are suffering, people who are suffering, people who are broken hearted, not people who are proud and this and that, doing their own thing.
14:03 Then this gentle won’t apply. Because this gentleman is compassionate but downtrodden. For the people who are suffering, brokenhearted, crushing anguish, sorrow, he wants to settle now those fellows are proud and this and that.
14:18 He will deal with them. He will deal. He is the King of kings and Lord of Lords.
14:23 But you and I don’t deal. You and I. He doesn’t want us getting involved in this rubbish. He said he is a creator, he can deal.
14:30 You and I are created. Even the fellow who is proud and doing all kinds of things, he is also a created being. He said, you both are created being.
14:37 You don’t get involved. You love your enemy. Even you love your enemy.
14:41 Now human enemies are Satan. We don’t love. We cast out in Jesus Christ’s name.
14:46 You love your enemy. Now he said he will take. Vengeance is mine.
14:51 God said that he can do because he created them also. We didn’t create the fellow who is causing us trouble. No.
14:57 So we cannot get involved. He created so he can destroy. We didn’t create the person who is giving us trouble.
14:57 So we cannot go and do all this. We humble ourselves and love them. And even when they have difficulty, we try and bless them.
15:10 We try and help them with what we can then become sons of the most High God. Sisters, you are the sons of the most high God. Love your enemies.
15:18 Now take my yoke upon yoke is the thing that holds two cows together, two bullock carts together, two bulls and the bullock cart are holding together the yoke, the ba between them. Learn from me, from gentle, humble in the heart. He’s humble in the heart, not just humble.
15:35 There’s false humility over people. Put on. Hello, brother.
15:38 Hello, sister. How are you? In the heart I may be full of pride. You won’t know unless you’re looking at the spirit.
15:45 Jesus wants humble, true humility in the heart. In the heart. To know we are nothing, we better understand we are nothing.
15:52 That’s the first sign of humbleness. I am nothing, Lord Jesus, without you I cannot do anything. And the heart to know that if I think I’m something, I deceive myself when I’m nothing.
16:04 If I think I know something and when actually I do not know anything yet as I ought to know. So when I know something also I must say, shut up. Shut up.
16:07 I do not know anything that I ought to know. What I know I use. And then with that when we learn from Jesus Christ, not learn from people writing simple books Here people read books after books after books.
16:24 Yeah, you can listen and read some of it. But you must learn from Jesus Christ. If the book is teaching you to learn from Jesus Christ.
16:32 Good book. If the book is teaching you their own traditions of man and this and that, don’t bother. Learn from Jesus Christ.
16:40 You think the Bible is not enough? Learn from Jesus Christ, not learn. Yeah, you can read other books, but remember the book must be turning you to Jesus Christ, making you an empowered in Jesus Christ. So today use the power of Christ.
16:54 Cast out evil spirit, cast out spirit of confession, fear and everything else in Jesus Christ’s name and receive the power of Christ today. Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the Power of Christ Daily 3rd March 2016 Narrow Gate, False Prophets and Wise as Serpents Part 2 Brothers and Sisters, this is the same title yesterday. It’s part two. We are following through.
00:15 Let’s remember this again. Again and again. Jesus will say, I say and say again.
00:21 Because our human nature, I reminded you all, has been bombarded with the world daily. Worldly logic, worldly thinking. False no doubt.
00:30 But because they keep repeating these words, our hearts are continually being bombarded with these false facts and so called facts. But they are false. And then so they call it oxymoron, false facts, you know.
00:47 But so our heart begins to believe. So that is why our spirit man, you, you are the spirit being. The spirit man must rise up, sisters.
00:55 Remember, you have your spirit man inside you, given by Father God. Rise up and control our heart and mind. That’s the secret.
01:02 And to do that, that is why Jesus died on the cross. To set us free, set us free from all captivity, even the captivity by our heart, our mind. But our spirit man must be captured by Jesus Christ.
01:17 The word of God has to capture us. I allow myself to be captured by Jesus Christ and his Word and to follow him. And then the spirit man rise up in control of our heart and mind.
01:29 Brothers and sisters, today important examine ourselves against the word of God area by area. Not every day the thing that you know that is bothering you most or you keep falling into most, focus on that to get rid of that portion. And then next week later, another thing, another thing.
01:47 As you go along, you’ll be changed from glory to glory. This is the promise of Jesus Christ. But you must want it.
01:54 You must want it now. For instance, lust of the world, let’s say, because you’re sitting in the world. You go to the office today, somebody will talk about how they’ve got a brand new car.
02:04 Now God said, be content. If you want a brand new car because you want to show off, you already got a problem. Because you’re then not following Christ.
02:07 If you want a brand new car because it’s functional for you and going to settle your work, and then this guy is actually giving so much trouble and all that. And you can afford it because that is what God wants you to be. Good steward, remember all monies.
02:27 Now we surrender to God, surrender to Christ. We go to Jesus Christ, the husband of our soul, to ask, what do I do, Lord? Do I get a new car? Because his decision will be the most perfect and safe decision for each of us. So therefore, you begin to talk to him.
02:44 Even though he is inside you, you are inside him. You begin to talk to him and to wait for reply. You find a sensing, you sensing.
02:53 You believe what he said. But the danger is our heart. We get inside the dupers and we say we heard God.
03:03 Then take counsel. When you’re not sure, take counsel. Godly counsel of many is safe.
03:09 Safety in godly counsel of many. Brothers and sisters, today, yesterday we dealt with the narrow gate, the wide gate and all that. Therefore, now, to put it simply.
03:18 What? Yesterday, so many things I was saying as the Lord was leading. Of course not. I was trying to tell you.
03:24 And whatever testimony I’m sharing yesterday is true. It’s a fact. Now, the issue of narrow gate, wide gate is not.
03:34 Before they came to the Lord, before they came to Lord, the people have not entered any gate. They’re just going about their business, not recognizing God, even as I was. But when you come to Christ, you enter the narrow gate, which is difficult to travel, because that is the true way of the true Christ.
03:54 You enter the broad way, which is easy to travel, lead you to destruction. The narrow gate will lead you to everlasting life, but few will find it. Jesus is saying, those large gates, easiest away.
04:09 Everybody just do what they want. Business. That is the wide gate, easy to travel and leads to destruction.
04:16 Both here, because you will be sowing and reaping trouble and eternally destruction. Therefore, when you come into Christ, walk the narrow road. Walk the narrow road, which will be difficult to travel.
04:34 But that’s only difficult without the power of Christ. With the power of Christ, it becomes easy. Now people say, what crazy nonsense is this pastor talking? No, I have traveled the road.
04:50 I still travel the road. Whenever first there will be a struggle, a big struggle, when you want to. When the devil or the heart or the mind or whatever, or the world is tempting you to take the easy road, then in every decision, no, every decision, there will be every major decision you’re making, which is either following Christ or not following Christ.
05:10 Actually, that’s where the region is. Narrow gate or the wide gate. So every decision you’re making, which is going to now either make you enter the narrow gate, walk the difficult path, or the wide gate, the easy road to destruction.
05:26 So the decision you’re making, even now, when I make decisions, I have to choose whether I walk the difficult part. The narrow gate, the narrow road, the small gate and the narrow road, or the wide, broad road to travel. Wide is the gate, broad and easy to travel, that leads many to Destruction.
05:47 So what you do, once you know, once you already know, the difficult path is what the Holy Spirit is telling you to take. Because that will lead to eternal life. Not only that, it will keep you safe.
05:58 Here, he said, blood of Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to do the right thing, to do everything according to the will of Jesus Christ. Now, one of the best decisions I made, that also is only the mercy of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
06:16 When I came to the Lord this very quickly, within a few days I began to realize my mind has cost me so much of trouble. My heart has cost me so much of trouble. That time I didn’t quite interpret the mind and the heart.
06:30 I only know my soul. My soul has caused me so much trouble. I told my Lord Jesus Christ, I don’t want my mind anymore.
06:37 I want your mind, Lord. I don’t want my mind. Because my mind, although supposedly knowing so many things supposed to be brilliant and all that, like everybody was saying, but was leading me into destruction and nearly completely destroyed me.
06:52 Nearly. Nearly. Very last end, I turned to Christ.
06:56 That was so by the mercy of Jesus Christ. So by mercy of Jesus Christ. I knew in my soul I must, I must not obey my worldly mind only.
07:03 I must not follow my mind. My mind will lead me to destruction. So I turned to Christ and said, lord Jesus, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask that my mind must be completely.
07:16 That I didn’t say in the name of Jesus Christ. I asked. I was not too sure at the time.
07:19 We don’t know about that. I said, lord Jesus Christ. Christ, Lord, I want your mind.
07:25 Lord, make me use your mind. I don’t use my mind anymore. I started praying like this, you know, every time because.
07:32 Frightened. I became frightened. What my mind has already done to me.
07:37 Brothers and sisters, if you dare pray a prayer like that, it’s good for you. Pray it in faith that you don’t want your mind anymore. You want the mind of Jesus Christ.
07:44 You want the heart of Jesus Christ. You want that. Why? Because that will be the narrow, difficult way and power will come.
07:54 Now, when you decide, let me follow the narrow and difficult way. Power will come because in the name of Jesus Christ, you can command your heart and mind to light the way, to love the way of Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to love the way of Christ, to love the way of the husband of my soul and to be longing, longing.
08:05 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to be Longing and craving for Jesus Christ. Craving for Jesus Christ. You begin to pray like this.
08:24 Hey, you know what will happen? The heart will begin to want him. You know, wanting. Can you imagine? The heart will begin to want him.
08:32 Jesus. Jesus. It will become, you know, suddenly things be happening.
08:35 You keep praying daily. I want it that way because our heart is so spoiled. Brothers and sisters, now.
08:42 Now we are talking. Today the part two business is the false prophets and wisest serpents. Now he tells us to be wiser serpent that is in.
08:50 We’re talking about Matthew 10:16. Listen carefully. I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.
08:59 So be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Now what is this? Amplified is saying the wise as serpents and innocent doves. Remember, serpent deceived Eve.
09:10 It’s supposed to be cunning animal. Cunning, crafty, you know, can manipulate and all. So did he tell us to be like serpents? No, Jesus Christ is not telling us to be do as serpents.
09:23 He’s telling be wise in your head. Begin to think. What will the serpent do? What will be the people of the world do? What will the people of the enemy of Christ? Enemies of Christ will do? What will the world do? You must be wise as serpent.
09:38 He wants you to understand what the serpents will do. What they will do. You must understand that serpents are cunning people.
09:47 People who are going to steal your soul. People who are going to manipulate and draw your soul. Because Satan will be manipulating them.
09:56 Because the whole world is under the sway of Satan. Satan and his army can put thoughts into human beings. So those who don’t have the power of Christ and casting out and all this can easily be manipulated.
10:10 They can call themselves Christians. That’s not the issue here. Are they applying the power? What power he gave before he left.
10:17 He said spread the God’s good news. And those who believe these signs will follow. They will cast out evil spirits in my name.
10:24 This is the key, brothers and sisters. This is what has been hidden. This is the strategy of Satan.
10:30 Keep everybody hidden from casting out the evil spirit. Because make them believe. No, there is a big time exorcism required.
10:37 Only people are so demonized. Must be casting out evil spirit on those people. No.
10:44 Every evil spirit, anger, lust, fornication, self seeking things, selfish desires, self, self, self. All that are spirits which are coming to you. Because your heart also fallen nature.
10:57 My heart of foreign nature. So my heart desires something. The spirit will start talking to you.
11:02 Evil spirit will start talking to our hearts. Remember, our heart is in the spiritual plane. You know, the Heart you cannot hold.
11:08 The heart, the physical heart you can hold, but the spiritual heart, the heart inside you cannot hold. It’s in the spirit world. The demon is in the spirit world.
11:17 The spirit of lust is in the spirit world. The spirit of lust will start talking to your spirit heart. The spirit of lust of the world.
11:26 Greed, want, money, angry, jealousy, all that spirit will begin to talk to the spirit heart of yours. And your heart of yours will respond. Mine responded.
11:38 Now, now I recognize by God’s mercy immediately the blood of Jesus or something. Get out in Jesus name I shall say. Get out in Jesus name.
11:45 Oh, get out in Jesus name. Then say Lord Jesus. Mercy Lord.
11:49 Help me Lord. Mercy Lord. Make me Lord.
11:51 Do the right thing now. Be wise as serpent, not do as serpent. To do an innocent doves.
11:59 That means doves are innocent, right? There’s no self serving agenda, Nothing self serving. There’s one good checkpointer. Anything that you want to desire to do first check.
12:11 Is this serving you? Serving your self serving agenda? If it’s serving you and your self serving agenda, then it’s not from Christ. It is from the evil one, Satan and his army. And it is from our fallen nature heart now be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
12:29 In the renewed spirit of your mind. Is this thing I am going to decide. Yes, it serves me.
12:35 It actually harms others or deprives others. And it serves me so I better not do this. I better be innocent as dust, but I better be wise as serpents.
12:46 What will the world do? How will they act so before we minister, also before we throw, before we give the gospel. That’s why he said don’t throw pearls to swine or pigs. Because why be wise as serpents before they turn around and tell you to bids.
13:02 Now Here in Romans 16:19 it says for the report of your obedience has reached everyone, so that I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise what is good and innocent in what is evil. This is Romans.
13:12 I want you to be wise. The apostle Paul, I believe is saying, be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. Be wise, wise.
13:27 That means you must be wise in what is good, what is good you do, what is evil you don’t do. You’ll be innocent, wise as serpents. Now coming to this false prophet business, I too have fallen into this trap.
13:39 But it used to bother me inside, it used to bother me. And I hear the false prophet. They come there, teach, you know, they all take your.
13:46 Are they taking your mind and your heart away from Christ? And putting you into something of the world looking for the blood moon, the blood moon, the blood moon. Or are they training you to be the kind of soul for Christ? A chaste virgin bride for Christ? Are they pointing you to be a chaste virgin bride for Christ? Are they all the time talking something earthly? This would happen. That’s going to happen.
14:09 This is going to collapse, that going to collapse. And then they’ll put two words, Jesus darkness and come back. Oh, sounds very good.
14:16 But let’s look at their life. God says, look at the fruits of their life. Fruit.
14:20 Look at their fruits. The fruits is not the number of people following them. That’s why early days I was confused because look, look, this prophet, this servant, this preacher is a fantastic preacher.
14:32 Look at his fruits. Thousands are following him. Millions are following him.
14:35 So what Jesus said, the last days will come. He said, get away from me, you workers of weavers. They said, we cast out demons in your name.
14:45 We heal the sick in your name. He said, I don’t know you, I don’t know you. Get away from me.
14:52 Go. Because I don’t know you, you workers of evil. What evil? They lead the sheep astray.
14:56 They lead the sheep astray. They lead the sheep away from Christ. Are they pointing you to Christ and say use the power of Christ.
15:06 Cast out evil spirit. Now this is a very important thing. If they’re not telling you to cast out in the name of Jesus Christ.
15:06 Cast out evil spirit out of yourself. Spirit of anger, spirit of lust, spirit of fornication, Spirit of laziness, Spirit of gluttony because we end up eating a lot of Spirit of gluttony comes spirit so many Spirit of greed, spirit of wanting the world. They’re not pointing you to casting out these means and they’re pointing you to worldly things.
15:34 Means and then their life. Are they life living a humble life or worldly life? Show off how they dress fantastic dressing. Are they looking for outward dressing as the basis or the inward incorruptible spirit of men or incorruptible men? Are they looking to the beauty of the incorruptible man inside them and inside you? Are they looking for the outward adorning of clothes? Brothers and sisters, very easy to I used to be very unsettled how to recognize false prophet.
16:09 Very easy to false prophet and false teachers. All liars. They left large number following because they please the men.
16:15 They please the flesh of the man. Flesh of human beings to all go running, you know. But they are not giving you power.
16:22 They are not empowering you in Christ to live Christ freely, without captivity and in Christ and to give you power and make you exercise the power in the name of Jesus Christ. When they don’t do that, they don’t empower you. They do things so you recognize them and you keep going to them.
16:40 If that’s what they are promoting, then you have a problem. They are false prophets. They must empower you in the name of Jesus Christ.
16:48 Always telling you to use the name of Jesus Christ. If they don’t, they are false. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 2 March 2016 Narrow gate, false prophets and wise as serpents. Narrow gate, false prophets and wise as serpents. Brothers and sisters, in Matthew 7, 13, 14 reading from Amplified.
00:21 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss. And there are many who enter through it.
00:33 But small is the gate, and narrow and difficult travel is a path that leads the way to everlasting life. And there are few who find it. I’ll read again.
00:44 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss. And there are many who enter through it.
00:57 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to everlasting life. And there are few who find it. Brothers and sisters, this used to bother me, you know why? Jesus Christ said, I am the way, the truth and life.
01:10 I am the way, the truth and life. So now they are saying people, there are two gates and people are entering and. And there are two ways.
01:22 There are two ways. There are of course a whole lot of people who are not entering any gate. They’re just going about their life as it is.
01:29 They’re just moving along. They’re not bothered to enter any gate. They’re still thinking of, I’m going, any gate, this gate, which gate am I entering? No, they’re not bothered at all because they are confused.
01:40 They are lost, they are captives, as I was a captive myself of the devil. But when people come to Christ, they think they are entering some gate. And Jesus said, I am the way.
01:53 So they supposed to have come to the way. But there are billions of people. Billions.
01:59 Literally no, billions. Billions. There are about almost 2 billion people who say they are Christians.
02:08 There is a large number, but actually their lives are in a mess. They are doing things that are not in the precept of Christ. So I used to wonder about this.
02:19 So what is this? Suppose I’ve entered this gate because I used to think the narrow gate is the gate of Jesus Christ. So they’re supposed to enter this gate and difficulties away and all. But the 2 billion are going about like easiest away, like nothing.
02:36 So actually the understanding is everybody who comes to Christ in Christ there are also the real Christ, the true Christ is narrow gate and difficult is the way, but leads to everlasting life. But there is also people, they’re thinking they’re entering the gate, entering the gate of Christ. But they still entering the wild gate, the broad and easy way.
03:07 So they think they are in Christ because they sent a sinner’s prayer and then told Jesus to come into their heart. And then they begin to do whatever they want. Because that’s how false teachers are teaching them.
03:18 Or they like it even because they do not want to carry the cross. Deny yourself, crucify your flesh. Deny yourself, pick up the cross daily, daily.
03:33 That means anything that is not right in Christ. We don’t want to do, but our heart and mind and our flesh should love it. But we don’t want to do that because we already know what Jesus Christ wants us to do.
03:45 And to know that we have to search the scriptures or listen to the scriptures. There are so many ways. Just download the words of Christ or download the scriptures Bible from the various Internet platforms.
03:59 Download and keep listening to the words of Jesus Christ. Just the gospels. You keep listening, your life will change because the word of God, who is Jesus Christ, will change you from inside.
04:08 That’s what happened to me and happened to others. Will happen to you, those who are still struggling. But you must make a purpose in your heart that you do not want to go and do the easy thing.
04:19 Just anything they say, easy, easy. You know, there’s a wide gate, there’s a wide road, easy to travel. Everything can.
04:27 No penalties, nothing. But actually what you sow, you will reap. So now, narrow and difficult is the way.
04:35 That means you’re following Jesus. The road will be narrow and difficult. Small is the gate and narrow and difficult is the path.
04:44 That means the path in Jesus is narrow and difficult. Jesus Christ saying this, why is it difficult? Because it is against our flesh, against our heart and against our mind. Unconverted mind, unconverted heart and the flesh.
05:01 Our minds are foreign nature minds. They think the way the world thinks. Because I was trained by the world.
05:07 In the world we do not know, we think we are training ourselves. But no, the devil has been speaking to our hearts. The devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, steal, kill and destroy.
05:20 Is speaking to my heart and my heart and resonating with the thoughts that’s put by the devil there, thinking, talking, talking. And the world is drawing, drawing, drawing. And the heart was following and thinking that I’m right.
05:33 But actually when come to Christ and look at his precepts very clear. Deny ourselves, pick up the cross. Love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.
05:43 Love one another as I have loved you. That he gave his life for us. We are supposed to give our lives to one another, for one another, were Christians.
05:53 And who are Christians? The disciples were first called Christians in the city of Antioch. So you have to be a disciple to be actually called a Christian. If we can label ourselves as Christians or Christians or whatever, any which way, anytime we wish.
06:09 But that doesn’t make us a Christian. We have to be a disciple actually, in the eyes of Christ, to be a Christian. And then we have to follow the narrow road, the difficult way.
06:22 And the difficult way will become easy when you use the power of Jesus Christ. The difficult way is, first of all, you deny your flesh. Pick up the cross.
06:34 You deny whatever your flesh was talking about. Your heart wants your fallen nature. Heart wants.
06:39 So that’s why our heart will have desires that are Antichrist. Desires which are going to destroy us. That’s why we must be careful.
06:47 So speak to your heart in the still of the night, in the bed. Jesus says in Psalm 4. 4.
06:54 Some translation is very clear about this. Some will say, meditate in the bed. But meditate what? Meditate what you are doing, what I’m doing against the word of God.
07:05 And then say, I want to do what the word of God says. I want to do what Jesus Christ, the husband of my soul says. So then you command.
07:15 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to love Jesus Christ, to crave for Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to crave for Jesus Christ, to love Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to.
07:31 To do whatever my husband or my soul says. You will do it hard. You will not do your own way.
07:38 Lord Jesus, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to put his desires into my heart. Please put your desires, Lord Jesus, into my heart so I will follow your desires. In the name of Jesus Christ, I ask the Holy Spirit to make me.
07:54 Make me follow righteousness, peace and joy. Make me follow the commands of Christ. So I love him.
08:01 If you love me, keep my commandments. You know, some people say, I repeat this. Yes, Jesus repeats, I say and say again.
08:09 Many people who think, oh, this repetition. You look at their life in a mess, why they hurt once and forget about it. Hey, you have to repeat and repeat.
08:19 Because every day the world is repeating itself into our hearts. Every day. Every day, you know, literally for 24 hours.
08:28 Because when you are sleeping also you have some music playing or the devil talking or whatever. Literally for 24 hours at the very least, it’s 16 hours. It’s talking to us.
08:38 The world is talking to us. Our mind is picking up things in the world and talking to us. And then this devil is talking to us.
08:45 And then we are being tempted left, right and center. Even when we don’t hear the sound, they can send frequencies. Subliminal messages.
08:53 Subliminal messages means you cannot see or hear the word, but the words are coming through the radio waves subliminally. That means you’re virtually going to see it. But actually they’re passing by the words.
09:06 Whether you’re watching TV or what. They put subliminal messages. You see that? You search.
09:11 What is subliminal messages? You will know. Brothers and sisters, this is bombardment that’s going on, on and on and on. That is why whenever I say that, let’s say we got a choice to make.
09:25 One, take root A or route B in our decision. Maybe a career decision, maybe a family decision. And then you find option A. You choose option B.
09:36 You choose both. Looks good. I always suggest to people, take the harder route.
09:42 Take the harder route. Why? That is to teach our heart and mind, our flesh, that you’ll obey me. Take the harder route.
09:51 Because the narrow is the way. Difficult travel is the path that leads to eternal life. You’re overcoming, you’re overcoming.
09:59 Don’t take the easy route. Whatever. Easy decision.
10:02 Two decisions. You think in the same situation, you make either one decision. Make the decision that seems harder to your flesh.
10:10 Harder to what? Your flesh? Whatever is harder to your flesh. Take the root. You’ll be blessed because you get stronger in the spirit.
10:18 For example, let us say one way, let’s say your impression. Your spirit is minister to a person. And then you find that you’ve got time to go and all that.
10:33 But you also can say, okay, I pick up the phone hand. Just talk. Why you don’t want to go? Because your flesh is trying to say it’s convenient.
10:43 After all, the phone is there, you can minister and all that. Of course it’s true. You can say all the words that you want to say over the phone.
10:50 But if you’re able to go and you still don’t go, better go. Why you don’t go? You’re fleshed now mind on the phone. We can do.
10:59 Now mind we can go on the phone. What is that? The Ministry. Face to face.
11:03 Ministry has a great impact on the soul as opposed to just talking on the phone. But of course, if there’s no way you can go, then the phone is the option and leave it Be and let it be with Jesus Christ who decides the following thing what he wants to do. Because that’s the best you can do.
11:20 But if you have capacity to go and yet you are telling yourself, never mind. I just speak on the phone. What is that? That is actually taking the wide road, easy route.
11:31 Just do whatever you want, make you better take the narrow and difficult road. Because there’s a price to pay. There’s a price to pay in anything.
11:39 For instance, those days I prayed my heart. Because my heart used to be so wicked. It just wants to work.
11:45 When I become born again. Of course the heart wants. But I will command in Jesus name.
11:49 Blood of Jesus. Blood of Jesus. Whenever they think.
11:52 But early stages. I didn’t know the blood of Jesus. For the first two weeks I didn’t know the blood of Jesus.
11:57 Only then later I knew the blood of Jesus. Sting how powerful. Because what happened? It burned demons.
12:06 This happened when I was ministering. One woman came. The past has gone off to the back.
12:11 And this woman comes crawling to me. I want blood. I want blood.
12:14 Because she demonized this deliverance ministry. I want blood. I want blood.
12:18 She’s crawling to me. So I keep walking back. Finally I have no more wall.
12:21 There’s a wall block me. I can’t walk back anymore. She is crying.
12:24 I want blood. I want blood. I want blood.
12:26 And she’s crawling. I cannot move anymore. And then my spirit in my heart I just felt spirit.
12:32 No, there’s the Holy Spirit speaking to me. I didn’t know at the time. Give her the blood of Jesus.
12:36 So I sprinkled like my hand. Make a gesture. Take the blood of Jesus.
12:39 Take the blood of Jesus. Take the blood of Jesus. She is rolling, burning, burning, burning.
12:44 She’s rolling, rolling and delivered. Can you imagine? I didn’t even say anything. It’s the blood of Jesus.
12:50 Then I started using the blood of Jesus again and again. Now suppose I go to a place and that place I have not been for two, three months. And let’s say there is a particular noodles that was so good.
13:02 There are places in KL that I like to eat some noodles. They are so good. And then I will tell my heart no, I will eat something else that I have not eaten there.
13:11 Not this noodles. Although I know I may not come back here. Three months.
13:15 I don’t know months I may not come back. But I will eat this. No doubt because deny yourself.
13:20 I’m going to deny my flesh and teach my flesh, teach my heart, teach my mind that I am the spirit man and I Have control over you. I will control you in the name of Jesus Christ. Because I must take control of my heart and mind.
13:33 Because my heart and mind have caused me so much of damage. Brothers and sisters, this is a narrow and difficult way to travel. Now, if you don’t travel the narrow and difficult way, there’s no eternal life.
13:46 Deny yourself. Pick up the cross, your narrow, difficult one. No.
13:49 To overcome your flesh and your heart and mind and renew your mind in the spirit of the mind. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. We have to renew the spirit of your mind.
13:58 You have to do this. But you see, and then if you do not do this, you will not know the truth. Because in the easy way you’re doing, haha.
14:07 Anyway you go, no controlling, no self control, no self control, no self control. The biggest damage it causes to us, lack of self control. That is why even the fruit of spirit finally will talk about starting with love will go into self control.
14:24 Self control. End result is self control. Brothers and sisters, self control is the key to walking a Christian life.
14:32 Christian life. You are following Christ and then only you know the truth. Then you become disciple.
14:37 And as disciples indeed. What you do as a disciple, and then only you become a disciple and the disciples and then only know the truth. Because the verse says, if you obey my commandments, you walk in my commandments and my disciples indeed.
14:53 And you know the truth and the truth will set you free. So what is the key here? You must walk in his commandments. To be disciples in deed indeed means you are doing the deed indeed.
15:04 Not just disciples, you are disciples indeed. In the deeds you do, then only you know the truth. And the truth will set you free.
15:11 Many people think they know the truth. No, you must be disciples indeed. And to do that, you must overcome the flesh.
15:18 You must overcome the flesh. That is the narrow and difficult path to travel. Denying yourself.
15:24 Pick up the cross. Now what is also happening is false prophets have come along. They tell you a scripture that there’s no sacrificial life here.
15:34 Everything will be provided by Jesus Christ. Whatever your heart desires, Jesus will give you. Just pray and believe, pray and believe.
15:42 And then it will be all money rooted, money rooted, brothers and sisters. It will all be money, money, money. And then people are being the broad way, they’re going a broad way.
15:52 Jesus said, if you seek me, you will find me, right? In addition, he says, seek the kingdom of God and righteousness first. And all these things will be added. Whatever your needs, whatever you see, all the gentiles, all unbelievers, need all things.
16:06 Your Father knows all this that you know that you need this he knows. And all these things will be added to you, will be added to you brothers and sisters. These false prophets will feed your flesh, feed your flesh.
16:19 These Apollos will come and tell you some easy scriptures or whatever and convert it this way, that way and you will feel good for your flesh, not feel peace in your soul and it leads to destruction. So always remember this. It’s a denying life, it’s a sacrificial life that is in Christ.
16:36 You’re not looking at pleasing your flesh but pleasing Jesus Christ of Nazareth and all your needs will be settled. That’s a guarantee. Needs brothers, not wants.
16:46 Needs. The false prophets will start telling you you can get your wants. We’ll continue hoping to talk tomorrow about these things.
16:52 But today remember, deny yourself, pick up the cross. That is the narrow and difficult way to travel. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
